The story

Laboratorio Olfattivo: Italian perfumery signed by the greatest noses

A Turin house founded in 2009

Laboratorio Olfattivo was founded in Turin in 2009 by Daniela Caon and Roberto Drago. The house cultivates a unique publishing approach: commissioning creations from some of the world's greatest noses (Jean-Claude Ellena, Dominique Ropion, Cécile Zarokian, Maurice Roucel) and giving them carte blanche. A perfume publisher's approach, rare in fine perfumery.

The iconic scents of the Italian house

The Laboratorio Olfattivo hall of fame includes Tonkade, Vanhera, Alambar, Need_U, MyLO and Miss_U, all emblematic signatures of the house.

Two collections to explore Laboratorio Olfattivo

The house organises its catalogue into two complementary lines. The Classic Collection Bianca brings together nine Eaux de Parfum signed by the greatest noses. The Classic Collection in Fiore offers four sophisticated florals for discerning connoisseurs.

Who is Laboratorio Olfattivo for, and when should you wear it?

Laboratorio Olfattivo is made for lovers of sophisticated signatures who appreciate a diversity of styles and the rarity of each creation. The house is unisex. Its floral and gourmand creations shine in the warmer months, while its oriental, amber and vanilla creations come into their own in autumn and winter. If you enjoy Laboratorio Olfattivo, you will also love exploring Nobile 1942, Profumum Roma and Xerjoff, three more Italian signatures at Soleil d'Or.

Frequently asked questions about Laboratorio Olfattivo perfumes

Who are Daniela Caon and Roberto Drago?

Roberto Drago is the Creative Director — born into a family of perfumers in Turin, he worked for Lancaster (Davidoff, Chopard, Joop) and Orlane. Daniela Caon is the Brand Manager — she directs the image, packaging and communications. Together, they founded Laboratorio Olfattivo in 2009 in Turin with a mission: to create perfumes that tell stories, giving absolute creative freedom to perfumers. The brand belongs to the Kaon Group and is present in over 40 countries.

What is the Laboratorio Olfattivo Masters' Collection?

The Masters' Collection is the premium line of Laboratorio Olfattivo — perfumes created in exclusive collaboration with the greatest living legends of perfumery: Jean-Claude Ellena (legendary Hermès nose), Lucien Ferrero and Dominique Ropion. Tantrico (Lucien Ferrero — sensual woody) is one of the jewels of this collection. A meeting between Turinese craftsmanship and the world's greatest noses.

What is the Laboratorio Olfattivo best-seller?

Amberbomb — intense, addictive amber — is the brand's global best-seller, acclaimed for its exceptional power and longevity. Vanagloria (enchanting vanilla oriental) is very popular. Arancia Rossa and Mandarino are favourites for their sunny hesperidic freshness. Our discovery box lets you test your selection.

Why is Laboratorio Olfattivo packaging so minimalist?

This is a deliberate choice by Daniela Caon: "quality must never take second place." The packaging — understated flacons, pared-back labels — is designed so that attention falls entirely on the juice and the fragrance, never on the container. Each flacon colour is carefully chosen to evoke the perfume's universe. This is the house's DNA: "Noses and perfumes produce creative sparks and dream fragments transformed into precious fragrances."

Which Laboratorio Olfattivo to start with?

To begin, Amberbomb (intense, universal amber) is the most acclaimed entry. Arancia Rossa (sunny, joyful hesperidic) is ideal as a fresh first approach. Vanagloria (addictive vanilla oriental) for something more enveloping. Tonkade (tonka bean gourmand) for sweetness lovers. Our discovery box lets you test your selection.
